We had a large long haired black dog. Not sure what breed, so probably a mutt. Great dog that seldom barked. In fact we didn’t think she could bark for the longest time. Anyway, she wasn’t allowed on the furniture either and when we went away would put up a wooden plank to keep her out of the living room. Yeah right. Like a plank of wood is going to stop a large dog. They jump fight? Yeah, I thought so. Well, we went away for a Christmas party and when we got home, she was laying nicely in the kitchen, looking oh so innocent, yet somehow all the Christmas packages under the tree had their wrapping paper ripped off! lol
Another time, my mom would do my grandmother’s hair and my grandmother had a small poodle. The poodle would jup up onto the couch. Because the poodle was allowed on grandmother’s couch my mom never really pressed the issue, but, our dog noticed and would look at the poodle on the couch and then at us and back to the poodle again. One day when we let the poodle out on a leash to do her business, our dog went out too, and as we were looking out the sliding doors, our dog picked up the leash about 4 ft from the poodle and I kid you not, she was swinging that poodle around on circles. My mom quick turned grandma’s chair so she couldn’t see it. It was hilarious! I had to shout out to our dog to get her to stop it. We were afraid she’d hurt the poodle.
LOL! That’s hilarious!
